How much does the current Verizon's C-Suite understand and know?

Pre Dan, VZ was around $39 bucks for a few years. AI Dan promised that with Operational efficiency + layoffs + AI , VZ would be at $70 and be trading at similar multiples to AT&T and T-Mobile. Instead, we seem to meandering along in the mid 40s.
